Get moving with a walk around the block or a run in the park. Set your pace and get moving in a way that works for you. Remember, when you’re starting out with walking, jogging, or running, you should set realistic goals. Whether you start by making it to the end of the garden path or the local shop, the important thing is to start at a level that suits you and gradually build up, aiming for a brisk walk that makes you feel warmer or breathe a bit harder as a good guide.
Walking and running can help you get active in a way that gets your whole body moving. It’s also a great way to boost your mood and is proven to help your mental wellbeing. You can even gather some friends and walk around while you catch up on each other’s day, like Leony and her daughter who enjoy spending time together on walks.
